Here is how the front trunk came out with a little primer. I will seal around the edges with Sealer and that should help the looks a bit. = )

Can you give me an idea of how many hours it took you to dismantle the car? I have to do this soon and will have a deadline but I'm not sure how much time it will take to completely dismantle the car.

I think it depends on how you do it. I took pictures of wires and connections. I labelled things and bagged all the little items. I think you could do it in a week taking your time and probably 2 days if it was just get it apart type stuff. = )

Hope this helps.

Thanks, but I will probably need to count on about four times that at my slow pace and with my lack of experience. I want to take pictures and label everything as well but I have no experience in taking cars apart. I have enough trouble keeping them together.

LOL Me either. This is my first one and I am terrified. I have parts from one end of the garage to the other. Every shelf is full. The wiring harness is 40 feet long and in a corner jeering at me every time I walk by. And to top it off, I add more and more to it. A rottiserie is big and takes up lots more space.

Its a big project... But what the hell. = )

If I can help let me know.

I wonder how much paint will be? I am on a budget so it makes it a little tough. I would love to paint it this color. = )

Nice progress! I would suggest that you consider widening the stance of the engine stands of your rotisserie. There's a lot of mass moving when you turn the car. While you're at, you might also consider increasing the height so that you can get the car fully vertical -- as it sits right now, I am pretty sure it is not high enough and the body will hit the stands and/or ground. Finally, connecting the two stands together will give it better stability, especially if you need to wheel the thing over cracks/lips in the concrete. Keep up the great work!

Widen the stance. You really don't ever want it to tip.

Also, put in t a cross bar between the two engine stands. This ties it all together and allows you to move the car around on the Rot in your shop. Very helpful in my build. I tried to do it your way first (no cross bar) and the whole thing almost folded the first time I tried to push it.

Here is how I did it, using the same building blocks that you are using:

I was at HF this morning looking at engine stand for this various purpose. I was wondering how to to solve the problem with the slight upward angle of the pivot, and then I come home to see this! Fortuitous.

Would a 110v mig welder be sufficient to build a rotis, or would I need to hire a local welder to come out and put some heavy beads on it?

All taken care of sir. = ) It is stronger with that piece connecting the two engine stands. Having the car on the rottisserie really gives you some different looks at the cars. Things you didnt see before jump out at you now. Its also much easier to get to some things. I cant wait to start the electrical with the car in the air. I can put it on its side and work standing up verses bent over. = )

Good stuff. Here are more pics.
